As most of us do, we set out with a vision in mind... not knowing where God would lead us. There was even a point when all things seemed to "fall through the cracks"... a breaking point when it seemed that maybe this mission truly was "impossible." Brothers and sisters, let me remind you that "what is impossible with man, is possible with God."
When the money seems scarce and family and friends do not come through right away or maybe not even at all, when you doubt yourself, when struggles so much bigger than you become insurmountable and overwhelming, remember to cling to the cross of Jesus Christ. Remember that He has overcome the world. Remember that He promised He would be with us always, even unto the end of the age. There is nothing to fear, for the Lord has a will for your life far better than anything you could ever dream up or imagine. He has plans for us all to serve His kingdom, to fully and wholly glorify Him and His Son in this age and in the age to come. Do not doubt Him, but trust in His word and cling to it. His love never fails.
With God as our guide and His Holy Spirit fresh and alive in us all, we are ready to face what is ahead! We are excited for the incredible journey our Lord is about to take us on for His kingdom and to bring glory to His name. There is no other place or way that the four of us could imagine spending our summers. WE ARE READY TO GO!!
Please pray for us as we are still in the process of raising funds for our trips and organizing last minute details. Pray for safety, mostly for our families' sakes, as we know that God is in control of our lives ultimately and we have chosen to make a sacrafice for His cause. Pray for the lives of the people we will encounter, for connections made, for lives changed by the power of Jesus Christ. Pray for a life-changing summer for us all. Pray for hearts changed forever. We love you all!
